I happen to need to actually pronounce the name Apistogramma gibbiceps.
A guideline says gibbiceps = JIB-ih-seps
http://www.columbusfishclub.org/info/tips/latin.php
Another suggests gibb EE seps for the catfish with this name
http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/species.php?species_id=148
On top of all this, I'm not a native English speaker and never learned Latin in school. I've tried to avoid saying the more difficult names out loud, but this time I will have to with gibbiceps. Sorry to bother everyone with this again, but any help is highly appreciated.
PS. in the long term, I hope some knowledgeable person might compile a list of hard-to-pronounce species and how to say them correctly. That would be extremely appreciated
